In an effort to provide the best information to their small business clientele, Montreal-based web design company LinkNow Media will be launching an e-book that they hope will be the definitive guide to website design and online marketing for small businesses.

"We've discovered that there is a lot of confusion about best practices out there," says LinkNow Media blogger Lauchlin MacDonald. "Small business owners are very busy people, and they often don't have the time or resources to sort the good advice from outdated practices, misinformation, or scams. We hope that by including the current best practices in a simple, easy to understand guide, our small business customers will have an easier time finding success with their marketing efforts."

LinkNow Media plans to publish the e-book in sections on their official blog over the next few months before finally publishing them as a collection that will be available on their website. The book will be a complete, easy-to-follow guide for small business owners so they can get up to speed on what they need to do to for their investment in online marketing to pay off.

"We want our customers to have success online," says LinkNow Media's Director of Operations, Ray Boulé. "Whether or not we are handling all their marketing or only their web design, we want every single one to meet their goals. That's why we're distributing all this information for free. If one of our clients chooses not to pay for professional SEO, they should still have the tools they need to promote their website."
